Zhang Ziyi
China"s entry, "House of Flying Daggers," is a martial-arts historical epic from director Zhang Yimou, whose previous martial-arts tale "Hero" was nominated for the foreign-language award for 2002 and became a hit in U.S. theaters when it was released last August.
"House of Flying Daggers," which debuted to a warm reception at May"s Cannes Film Festival, features "Hero" co-star Zhang Ziyi as a ninth-century rebel in a romantic triangle with two men whose love for her leads to tragedy.
Japan"s offering, Hirokazu Kore-eda"s "Nobody Knows," earned the best actor honor at Cannes for child star Yagira Yuuya, playing a boy who must take charge of his three younger siblings after their mother leaves.
